Transcend ESD310C TS256GESD310C 256 GB

A compact and practical portable SSD from Transcend, which resembles a classic flash drive in appearance but significantly outperforms most USB drives in terms of performance. The main design feature of the model is the two full-sized USB-C and USB-A ports located on opposite ends of the body. Thanks to this, the drive is compatible with both modern laptops and smartphones, as well as classic PCs and TVs, which is especially convenient for frequent data transfer between devices of different generations.

Each connector is protected by a separate removable cap, which is securely fastened and provides protection during transportation. Traditionally for modern mid-level SSD drives, the Transcend ESD310C uses 3D NAND memory, and the USB 3.2 Gen2 interface ensures read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds up to 950 MB/s ― these are standard speeds for average portable SSDs.

The body is made of an aluminum alloy, which provides lightweight passive protection against overheating while offering high durability. With dimensions of just 71x20x8 mm and a weight of 11 g, the drive is almost unnoticeable in a pocket or on a keychain, and the minimalist design without unnecessary details underscores the device's versatility. An additional advantage of the model is the five-year manufacturer warranty, which speaks to the high reliability of the components used, despite the affordable price. The 256 GB capacity is suitable for storing documents, photo archives, smartphone backups, and even boot OS images.
